Move comes on the heels of entry into Brazil; Company continues global expansion

Pompano Beach, Sept. 30, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DS Healthcare Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:DSKX), a leading developer of personal care products, today announced it has signed an agreement with a distributor in China and will soon launch its products into the fast-growing Chinese beauty and personal care market. The Company expects to begin generating revenues from sales in China in the fourth quarter of this year.

According to Euromonitor International, total sales of beauty and personal care products in China tripled in size from 2000 to reach an estimated $24 billion in 2010. Euromonitor projects the market will grow to $34 billion by 2015. Analysts believe this rapid pace is driven by China's fast growing middle class.

"We believe international expansion will be a key driver for our revenue growth in the future. Our products have universal appeal and we are ready to meet demand in an increasing number of markets. Having started to gain traction in Brazil, we are now ready to enter China," stated DS Healthcare President and CEO Daniel Khesin.

DS Healthcare currently distributes its products in over 15 countries throughout Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and South America.
